Large 19th Century Gilded Overmantel Mirror

A fine and large antique mid-19th century rectangular overmantel mirror,
English, circa 1850's.

An unusually well-balanced design for its period, leaning towards early Louis Seize style in decor, of great proportions, in virtually untouched original condition with only very few historic repairs, beautifully aged gilding and the original, nicely patinated and sparkling mercury mirror plate.

Original antique condition, original gilding, original mercury plate. Minor repairs to gesso, minor foxing to the plate.
